Probably, as Karma supports DRMv9 ("low security DRM") but not DRMv10 ("high security DRM" or "Janus"). Or it's possible that your audiobooks are some sort of "WMA speech", not the same as the normal WMA that Karma can play.

Oh, wait -- the advantage might be that I could listen to the CD after the 14-day DRM license expired. Could that be it?

Another advantage is that you can then re-rip the CD in whatever format you like, such as one that Karma can play.
